India and China are preparing to resume direct passenger flights as early as next month, aiming to restore air connectivity suspended since the Covid-19 pandemic.

the title refers ironically to Trump’s wild tariff pronouncements bringing India, a putative western ally, to repair relations with China.

if you aren’t an anti-imperialist then joking references to “JDPON Don” or “Comrade Nation Builder” will not make that much sense to you
they meant extremely online anti-imperialist, which is us here at Hexbear! people around here are always happy to explain all sorts of shit with walls of text if you ask! we have a bit of a reputation from people who come in JAQing off (meaning asking bad faith questions, basically negging in debate form) which we always spot right away and we don’t play along. but when normal people just ask like “hey I don’t understand that can you explain?” everyone’s an effort poster
Welsh nationalist.
I know nothing about what has been done to the welsh, but I assume this means fuck the british?
